Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin: A Comparative Study With Fluorouracil
Abstract
We conducted a prospective, randomized study to compare mitomycin with fluorouracil for efficacy and safety as an adjunct to trabeculectomy in eyes with glaucoma with poor surgical prognosis. Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients were randomly allocated to either mitomycin (17 eyes) or fluorouracil therapy (15 eyes). Mitomycin (0.2 mg) was applied only once during trabeculectomy, and fluorouracil (5 mg) was subconjunctivally injected 10 times in the 2 weeks after surgery. Fifteen eyes (88%) in the mitomycin group and seven (47%) in the fluorouracil group achieved an intraocular pressure of less than or equal to 20 mm Hg without antiglaucoma medication. The follow-up period was 7 to 12 months. Corneal complications were less common in the group given mitomycin than in that given fluorouracil (12% vs 53%). The incidence of other complications was similar between the two groups.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
